Lenin

See also: lénin, Lênin, Lê nin, and Lê-nin

English

Etymology

Transliteration of Russian Ле́нин (Lénin), probably due to the use of a passport of the friend, Nikolay Lenin, whose surname originated from the Siberian Lena river. It is commonly believed that the Lena derives its name from the original Even-Evenk name Elyu-Ene, which means "the Large River".
